Hi, I m very new to the XLM, and hardly know anything about xml Site maps... please help , and tell me if there is any software to create these site maps... Thanks
If you are very new to sitemaps, XML etc. you may benefit from reading this sitemaps article. It has examples of and explains all sitemap file kinds such as xml vs rss vs ror, text, html vs xhtml etc.
Personally , I feel using google's own Google Sitemap generator the safest thing to do ...But it isn;t an easy task as it requires lots of things apart from the shell access which is not that east. Google also lists a lot of external sitemap generator on its page code.google.com/p/sitemap-generators/wiki/SitemapGenerators .
Just go to Google and search for the term XML sitemap generator and you will get lots of free sitemap generator/creator choose any good one from it and have your sitemap ready to use.
Is there any difference if I create an xml in a txt file using the necessary tags, and then renaming the extensiton to xml?
